Thank you for getting back to me so quickly, its much
appreciated. As this is such an important issue for sick and disabled
people I wonder if it would be possible to arrange a meeting at the
Minister's convenience please? I will be able to arrange funding and
support from the disabled community to attend.

Thank
you for your phone call yesterday, as discussed I'm writing to request a
meeting with the Minister for Employment, Mark Hoban to discuss some key
issues with the Work Capability Assessment. This would be an additional
meeting to the positive and productive meetings at Conservative conference
earlier this month with Esther McVey and Iain Duncan Smith, to cover areas
within the remit of the Minister for Employment.

The three main points
I hope to discuss are in relation to Employment Support Allowance; that of the
descriptors, the norms and the further medical evidence processess. In
particular the problems specific to each of those areas and what potential
solutions can be introduced to improve the accuracy and performance and value
for money of the WCA.

I would be ever so grateful if the Minister
could please spare me some time to discuss this. As a disabled person who is
reliant on benefits it can be very difficult both practically and financially
for me to travel to London. However, I will be in London on the afternoon of
November 14th funded by a charity to contribute to an event for the APPG on
disability and hope it is not terribly cheeky to ask if the Minister could see
me that day? Although I am a campaigner I am housetrained, and won't
behave badly as am hoping for a constructive discussion not an argument or
protest visit...I do have an embarassing tendency to spill tea though!
